Installing second Hard Drive

I have s Dimension 4600, 2.6, 80 Gig HD, 256 RAM (soon to be 768) running XP Home.  I'm going to be transferring all my VHS and Beta (yes, Beta) tapes to DVD and doing some digital imaging so I thought I'd but another HD just to store that data. BestBuy has a 80 Gig Seagate on sale for $49.99 (after $50 rebate). I think I know how to install, jumper it to Cable Select, etc. but immediately after I physically install the drive do I go into the BIOS and tell the system there is another HD there?  Assuming the answer is yes do I then install XP again on this drive and go on my way?  Or am I headed off in the wrong direction? And if so what would be the right direction?

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions!!
